Feeling a little sluggish today. Felt really sleepy most of yesterday. I wanted to take a nap so badly, and even tried a couple of times, by my 2 yr. old would have nothin' doin'! She was into EVERYTHING! Cubbards, drawers, book shelves, everything but her toys! LOL
It's a new week and a new day! I listened to Joyce Meyers again, yesterday, and was re-inspired to keep up my weight loss efforts. The teaching I was listening to was how to overcome bondage. (Battlefield of the Mind) She reminded me that I need to give my weight loss struggles over to God and ask Him to help me stay disciplined. You can't conquer a problem without some difficulty and 'pain' involved. Through the pain will come victory! So, with that being said, I realized that yes, this is going to be difficult for me and I will want to give in at times, but no, it's not out of my reach. This journey will require a lot of self-discipline and I hate self-discipline. It's hard! LOL I like easy, and that's why I'm overweight. I just need to stay focused and determined.
I don't know if anyone has heard of "Perfect Weight America" or not but think I'm going to give it a shot. www.perfectweightamerica.com
I've ordered the book and once I've read it I'm going to implement the program. It's a 16 week program that's based along the lines of SBD but seems to include a more natural, organic approach. I watched a short video on the website and thought it interesting that he feels the same way I do about artificial sweeteners and he even explained what insulin and insulin resistance is...which leads me to believe his eating program is designed for people like me. I think I've gotten too used to, and possibly tired of, the SBD and have really strayed. My sugar addiction needs to be tackled and he does address that as well. I'm ready for something new and think I'll give it a shot.
I will reach my goal weight. I've managed to lose about 17 pounds so far, although it hasn't been easy, I've kept myself from gaining it back. It's time to start losing again!!! =)
Today, after work, I plan to hit the park with bike and daughter. It's a beautiful day out! Gotta soak up as much sun as I can over the next 2 months...before Fall sets in. Already dreading Winter. LOL
